In order to record the findings and expand the wealth of UX knowledge, Mensch und Computer offers the opportunity to publish papers on the contributions submitted. The paper should offer background information, provide context and complement the session.
The submitted contributions (presentations, workshops/tutorials, barcamp sessions, working groups) will be published digitally via the Digital Library of the German Informatics Society (http://dl.gi.de) as Open Access (OP).
For accepted contributions, a declaration on the granting of usage rights to the final version of the contribution must be confirmed when submitting the abstract in the conference management system in accordance with the author guidelines. This is done when uploading the paper in the conference management system (ConfTool) by activating a check mark.
